I really should find out how long it is to the Ground Hog doesn’t see his shadow and there is early spring. Busing it in again, those days of riding my mountain bike to work seem not to happen this week. But I’m up early and planning an hour of walking and stairs in the Plaza and the Capitol complex.

Friday is tomorrow and then the weekend. 🌬️ Going to be cool and windy this weekend though not truly frigid but I don’t have any plans besides maybe write 📝 some code, do some work with the soldering iron and go out and see the folks 👨‍👨‍👦 on Sunday. Next weekend I might do Rennselaerville State Forest but that depends on the weather.

I got my second to last pay stub of the year, 🎫 and was thinking this would be the last retirement payment of the year but I still owe a $1.72. But then I will have maxed out for year so it’s a nice bump in my final check of the year as my bank 🏦 account will be pretty much depleted after I pay my credit card 💳 next week. Plus I need to call about the state inspection 🔎 today. But I also am hoping to get an end of the year bonus. It’s been a good year, though inflation is tough and I’m glad I bought bonds even if rates are falling, as I’m too much in the stock market and who knows what the Trumpster will do with crazy tarrifs. 💹 The one thing about Trump is he too much like me judges his self worth based on the status of the stock market.
